Kiss Me Kate: A Romantic Dresser Makeover

It feels like it has been awhile since I have had anything new for you (I am sure this is all in my mind) so I am happy to say that yesterday I finished three pieces. I went to bed feeling super productive. I love that feeling.

Megan and I picked up this dresser (with an adorable matching mirror) for The Blessed Nest on the same day as the craft show. Megan laughed at me when I told her I had just bought a dresser while on my way down the street to get a milkshake. That’s just like me. Always shopping for the Nest. Here is was before I got my mitts on it:

Do you see the potenial in this gorgeous piece?

I did.

Her name is Kiss Me Kate.

This is piece was inspired by someone who continually inspires me…
Marion AKA “Miss Mustard Seed” and this was the piece that I fell in love with –

How did I do?

She turned out much better than I had anticipated.

I loved her the minute I laid eyes on her.

I think someone else felt the same because within 5 minutes of posting her, she was SOLD!

Well I think you did great! Glad you sold it so quickly. I have been inspired to do one of these for a while now – found a lovely lavender piece on pinterest several months ago. At my speed I will get one done about this time next year! Thanks for linking to our party!

Saw your feature at It’s Overflowing. I love the shape of your original piece. The skinny legs and scrollwork (?) at the bottom center give it femininity, but the curvy lines you added bring more flow and femininity as well. Very fun pattern.

lol. I posted to Under The Table and Dreaming right before you. You appeared when I refreshed the page. Recognized your caption so I had to click in and make sure it was you (the pics were still processing). Are you following my through the net? 😉 p.s. did I mention the piece is lovely?

It’s one thing to do good because you really feel it, quite another to think that something good will happen to you because you picked paper towels up off the floor for the cleaning lady. Self absorption is a pretty tough nut to crack and requires a lot of soul searching to fix. Doing something “good” doesn’t necessarily clean up your karma.

Wow those are gorgeous, also makes it nice to do the laundry. Mine are in my kitchen. No really any way to hide them, yet anyway. Of course the entire kitchen needs to be gutted but I am very grateful not to be doing laundry in a pot over a fire or in a creek somewhere!

Lacey!! I had no clue you had a blog- I am such a bad friend I love these tshirts! They are adorable!! Love you- hope things are going well (btw, I am at the airport now and coming into k-town for a month! Hope to see you while I am there!)
